The awards ceremony was followed by media interviews, and the media crowded, curling their tongues and doing interviews in accented English, using camera lenses and radio microphones to surround the directors and actors who won the awards tonight.

"Director Feng, can you talk about your acceptance speech after winning the Golden Lion Award?"

"Director Feng, as the biggest winner of this year's Venice Film Festival, can you briefly talk about your work?"

"As far as we know, you have already won the Golden Bear in Berlin and the Palme d'Or in Cannes before you won the Golden Lion, and after tonight you will be the first Chinese director to win the Grand Slam of Best Picture at the three major European film festivals, can you talk about your current feelings?"

"Director Feng, please take a look at this ......"

“......”

Reporters rushed in, and the sound of the camera clicking was like a machine gun.

Feng Tusheng's face became a little ugly, to be precise, it didn't start with the media interview, since he was awarded the Best Actress Volpi Cup, his whole face has not been very good-looking.

The reporters and cameramen holding the machines crowded together like canned sardines, stretching their microphones forward shoulder to shoulder, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with Feng Tusheng's attitude at this time.

They believe that this is just the excessive subtlety of the Orientals.

After all, the Golden Lion Award is the most important award in the entire Venice Film Festival, and Feng Tusheng is undoubtedly the biggest winner tonight, so he has no reason to be down.

But he did have a cold face, and after a while, some keen media people gradually noticed that something seemed to be wrong.

"Director Feng, we noticed that your expression was not clear after you won the award, can you understand that you are dissatisfied with the Venice Film Festival?"

Feng Tusheng opened his mouth expressionlessly, speaking fluent English with a subtle French accent between his words—he grew up in France.

"Yes, I am not satisfied," he paused, and repeated half a sentence in an accentuated tone, "very dissatisfied." ”

How much Xu Chunqiu has paid for this "Crazy Day", he sees every penny in his eyes.

She spoke her lines in Beijing in the harsh winter of February, and lost 20 pounds in a short period of time for the needs of the role, and she even accidentally fell into the Yongding River because of the last scene, like a rag doll, lying in a hospital bed, and fell asleep for several days before finally waking up.

She sacrificed her time, energy, and even health for this drama, and even her justifiable boyfriend had to cover it up when she came over to visit class, and Lu Xiu's tens of millions of additional capital injections for this drama were completely defeated by him.

In the past few months, she has almost abandoned herself, abandoned everything, closed herself in the crew, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the role of Qu Jinghong.

He can assert that Xu Chunqiu's highlight scene filmed in prison is definitely no worse than any actress who was also nominated for the Volpi Cup as her.

But she still failed.

Not because of her acting skills, for no other reason, just because she is a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese.

She didn't lose to Miss Leonard, she just lost to the prejudice in people's hearts.

Feng Tusheng did not shy away from looking directly at the camera, his gaze was like a hook, and he said clearly: "I think there is racial discrimination in the award process of this year's Venice Film Festival. ”

Discrimination, this is a phenomenon that exists in all European and American film festivals. All things being equal, Caucasians are always more popular than other races, men are always more likely to win awards than women, and awards are the same for both directors and actors. The filmmakers knew this, and no one had ever put it on the surface.

Although the speech environment in Western countries is relatively open, and although there are many directors who have made shocking remarks at international film festivals in the past, there are still a few cases where they want to spare no effort to directly and toughen the organizing committee.

Not to mention that he just won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, such a move can be called a sentence of "lifting his pants and not recognizing people".

The media reporters suddenly became excited, and the more outrageous the remarks made by Feng Tusheng here, the more eye-catching their reports would be tomorrow.

A young reporter couldn't understand the meaning of Feng Tusheng's words, and asked a little puzzled: "But you, an Asian director, have beaten all the nominees who competed with you and won the Golden Lion, the highest honor!"

Feng Tusheng shook his head slowly: "I'm not talking about myself. ”

"I think Xu Chunqiu's performance in "Crazy Day" is more worthy of this Volpi Trophy than Miss Leonard. ”

"She's a very good actress and she deserves this trophy more than anyone else. ”

The reporters chattered, and the white light of the flashing lights flickered incessantly.

"But the crew of "Crazy Day" has already won the Golden Lion Award, the highest honor, and it is natural that the Volpi Cup should be awarded to other crews. ”

"For a foreign language film like "Crazy Day", winning a Golden Lion Award is already quite an outstanding achievement, is Director Feng's appetite too big. ”

"Miss Xu is still young, and if she is too aggressive in setting her goal for Best Actress in the first international film festival, maybe she can start with the Newcomer Award. ”

"But in terms of the tension of the performance, this Miss Xu from the East is indeed superior, although I didn't fully understand the cultural connotation of "Crazy Day", but Miss Xu's sacrifice in image and excellent appeal are already very rare for an actress of her age. ”

"Miss Leonard has been nominated for the Volpi Cup for the third time, and not only that, she is at least ten years older than Miss Xu in terms of age, Miss Xu is indeed a blockbuster, but I think she still has room for development, and it is understandable that the organizing committee decided to award the award to Miss Leonard......

"Can Director Feng tell me about the next step?"

Feng Tusheng looked at the radio microphone held in front of him and replied methodically: "Keep making movies, keep shooting." ”

"I owe this Volpi Trophy," his gaze drifted far away, looking for Xu Chunqiu's figure across the layers of crowds.

He swore to the camera and promised: "One day, I will take this girl back to Venice and win the Volpi Cup." ”
